AAPL, DUSS, ZOOM, ILST & Extended Watchlist

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options

In Friday’s daily report, we were focusing in on AAPL options. We were watching the $550 Weekly Calls, which dipped as low as .66 before running as high as 8.35, a remarkable intraday move of 1165% They would close the session strong at 6.50. We had also added the $555’s to our radar. Those were as cheap as a nickle, and ran as high as 3.35, for an astonishing 6600% rip. You didn’t read that wrong. We said six-thousand, six hundred percent! Even the $560 Calls (that we mentioned would be a target provided AAPL broke through the $557-mark) traded in a vast range from .03 up to 1.51 (+4933%).

AAPL Options were certainly a trader’s paradise on Friday, so congratulations to anyone who caught our morning report and was able to get in on the incredible action! We’re looking for the upward momentum we saw in AAPL to continue into this week, and wouldn’t be at all surprised to see AAPL at, near, or above $600 by the end of 2013.

Dussault Apparel, Inc. DUSS

We mentioned Friday that if DUSS hold support above the .0007 area that we would remain interested in the stock. It managed to do more than that, trading in a daily range from .0008-.001, giving traders the chance at up to a 25% intraday gain.

We’re tracking DUSS following an announcement that the company would be shifting focus to the mining sector by acquiring some mineral claims, and so we’re going to want to follow that story to its conclusion. The claims, referred to as  “Montauban Gold Tailings” could mean a significant revenue stream for the company if they begin producing gold. While it’s still quite early in this developing storyline, it’s worth keeping an eye on moving forward.

Zoom Technologies, Inc. ZOOM

ZOOM came off of our watchlist on Friday and turned out to be quite an aptly-named stock. It zoomed upward from a low of 5.96, and afforded folks the chance at up to 39% in intraday gains as it touched a high of 8.30.

This comes on the heels of Friday’s announcement that the company had entered into a letter of intent to possibly acquire Baifen Tonglian IT Co., Ltd. which is one of China’s leading mobile ad services providers.

International Star, Inc.  ILST

ILST was another play from our radar on Friday, and it played out a classic dip-and-rip scenario during the day’s session. After touching a low of .002, the stock would rally to close at its high of day at .0028. That was good for an intraday opportunity at a gain of 40%

Dussault Apparel, Inc.  DUSS

On Tuesday, DUSS released an 8K containing information regarding its pending acquisition of a gold mining property. This adds substance to this very cheaply-priced stock, and with Wednesday’s session seeing a high of .0011 on more than 10X its 3mo. average volume, now is a good time to start monitoring this stock.

The last significant spike on the DUSS chart took it as high as .0015, so a return to those levels from here could facilitate gains in excess of 50% or more. We’d like to see support continue to hold at .0006-.0007 in order for us to remain interested.

International Star, Inc.  ILST

We are introducing a new momentum play in ILST today. Like DUSS, ILST represents a company that has just shifted its business toward the mining sector.  Wednesday, the stock woke from a slumber, and moved from a low of .001 to as much as .0034 on record volume.

The company is currently working toward getting their claim prepared for production. The Van Deemen Mine property consists of five un-patented claims totaling approx. 100 acres, and an additional 18 un-patented lode claims in the surrounding area. As with any junior mining project, the road to production can be a long one, so there’s no sense of urgency here. But at its current price level and at this stage of the story, we thought it would be a good time to put ILST on the radar, and begin following its journey.

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options Ideas

Turning our attention to options trading, we are taking a look at TSLA. With the current conditions on the chart appearing favorable for an uptrend, we are looking at 12/21 $120 Call, which last traded at 11.35, and 12/27 $130 calls, last traded at 6.35.

As you can see on the included chart, conditions appear to be gearing up nicely for a possible surge in PPS.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options

AAPL is another candidate to provide us with some good options-trading opportunities based on current conditions. AAPL weekly Calls could provide a nice day-trading opportunity today that could yield fast profits. We want to radar the 550, 555 and 560 calls, because all week long, AAPL has been making huge gains and the weekly Calls have made multi-bag gains.

If today’s action can repeat the activity we saw earlier in the week, we could be looking at some sizable gains from these Calls. AAPL $550 calls closed at .80, $555’s closed at .30, and the $560’s were at .12. It’s always safer to play closer to the money with your strike price, so we’re keeping that in mind. If AAPL can’t make its way past $555, the $560’s may not make the same kind of moves that expect from the $550’s and $555’s.

Aetrium, Inc. ATRM

We’ve been talking about ATRM since last Friday, and highlighted it once again on Monday. It would pull back early in the week, and then on Wednesday we got the move we were looking for. From Tuesday’s low of 4.19, the stock would hit a high of 12.40, marking a possible gain of up to 196% for anyone who loaded up on the dip.

ARIA, CAMT, MACK, ECPN & Extended Watchlist

ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  ARIA

Lately, our scans have  certainly been yielding some profitable plays, and after appearing both in Friday’s extended watchlist and yesterday morning’s report, ARIA claimed its place as the next big winner to add to that list. As we approach Thursday’s holiday hiatus, we are expecting market activity to taper as people begin to travel to their holiday destinations and generally prepare for upcoming festivities. We may decide to suspend Wednesday’s newsletter, barring some unforeseen development that may need relaying.

But for now, let’s talk about the big day ARIA had for us yesterday. After opening at 4.06, the stock came back to a low of 3.92  before running up to close at 5.13. The Northerly movement continued post-market, and the stock is gapping up this morning, so we don’t want to let ARIA slip from our radars now. Remember, this stock was trading as high as the 17.00-range as recently as last month, so it still may have some ground to recover.

So far, from Friday’s low of 3.30, the bounce on ARIA has afforded us the opportunity to make up to 55% profit (at yesterday’s closing price) and we suspect that figure could continue to grow today.

Camtek Ltd.  CAMT

CAMT came off of yesterday’s extended watchlist after it had been gapping up in premarket trading, and continued to roll throughout the day. We witnessed a move from 4.11 to a high of 5.29 on 58x the 3mo. average volume, qualifying this as a serious momentum play.

It appears CAMT will gap up once again (currently trading above 6.00) so we have our eyes peeled for continued upward activity today.

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. MACK

On November 8th, MACK appeared in our daily report, at which time we mentioned a “big gap on the chart between the 3.00-3.40 level” that would bring us excessive gains if filled. We went on to mention the key point to watch for was a break of the 3.00 mark, and we did in fact witness that event this past Friday.

The move we were watching for did come to fruition, and the party may not be over yet; the stock is currently trading in the 3.50-range, so we will be very interested to see what happens today. We’d like to see MACK hold support at the 50DMA of 3.26 in order for it to have a good chance to pile on some added gains.

El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. ECPN

ECPN hit our scanners today as a stock coming off of a recent consolidation that followed a big run on the chart. In early October it ran off of its 52-wk low (.055) and would subsequently hit .41 (Nov 13th) before pulling back to find support at .1142 last Thursday. Since that time it has been logging higher lows and higher highs, so we’d like to see a continuation of that trend which could make ECPN fall under the category of a solid recovery play.
